You can break the speed of light in your back yard! (but don't worry, Einstein is still right)

  • holy fuck this has got to be the most misleading shit ever.

  • "Here's how you can make something travel faster than the speed of light" [blah blah blah] "No physical laws are broken because nothing is traveling faster than the speed of light"

see all

  • neutrinos?

  • how can this actualy have so much likes? sounds like bullshit to me

  • @AlphaVinigre Truth

  • 300000!

  • Easiest way to travel faster than the speed of light.

    Go slowly backwards in time. Let's say you need to be 10 light-years away from here in less than a millisecond. The journey would take 200 centuries with conventional fuels. Well, simply start begin to go backward in time with the least energy-expensive fuel you've got. Suspend the crew in time, leave the computers running to allow dodging obstacles.

    When you leave, you are minus fuel, and arrive 1 millisecond after you left.

  • @0pteryx that's because it's not traveling. Space is expanding faster than light travels. Which means, you can expand faster than you travel ;)

  • the light doesn't travel faster than light. it's a continuous stream of light that is all. it's not as if you turned it on then shut it off and turned it back on in a different spot. think about it.

  • DAMN! And i thought that all that "Millennium Falcon" hyper speed were just bullshit. Now i know it can be true. Thanks for the enlightenment. Please explain also that "light saber"...

    Thanks

  • @0pteryx Yeah, but it doesn't have mass, so it doesn't KAPOW the rules of general relativity.

  • all I can think of that's breaks the speed of light is warp space. Maybe teleportation but is that even consider a speed ?
